User Rating:Tilting wood labyrinths looked very cool when I was a kid. Twist, move, avoid the holes. And then, with the iPad and iPhone, they got a new twist: digital version where you twisted and rotated a virtual (and incredibly expensive) piece of wood.
iCube moves a step further: your labyrinth is a 3D cube you have to twist and rotate to move your ball to the exit. An awesome idea, but results in very very hard puzzles. The game is very well executed and has an addictive point that is very frustrating: I almost missed a train one day, and I was in the station!.
It fits perfectly casual gaming while waiting on queues or commuting, but be prepared for the odd glances you’ll get as you twist your iPhone around!
